MEXICANS UNEASY.
A Sensational Don Carlos Story Set
ting Them Wild.

JlnR Inem WllO.
CITY OF MEXICO, June 2-Despite the
fact that even the organs of the Clerical
party ridicule the reported plot to incite a
revolution and place Don Carlos on the
throne, and that the leading politicians of
the Liberal party assert that there is
for the report, the RepubhcGno,
a very influential Liberal journal contains
to-day a significant leading article which
claims TO have special information for its
basis. The tone is intensely hostile to the
Clerical party. The writer begins by saying
that he would have regarded the report as
mere offspring of that love of sensation
which is so strong feature
of the American journalism, had
it not been for certain confirmatory intelli-
gence received from an independent source.
This private intelligence hints dimly at the
vast organizations within the Clerical party
for the overthrow of the republic and set
ting up of the throne in its stead. A
number of wealthy Spaniards, resi-
dent here, who are infatuated with
wild hopes of restoring the days of old
Spanish ascendancy, are said by the writer
to be implicated but, he adds, the prime
movers are priests--thoSe worthy successors
to Requemada and his compensate same
who in 1868 betrayed their country TO the
French, and who would not hesitate to do
the same to-day if in that way they could
attain their selfish ends.
THE CLERICAL PARTY DENOUNCED.
The writer then launches into violent
denunciation of the Clerical party He
notes the increasing boldness in the church
party press. SELDOM he says "do we
pick up one of those sheets but we find it
filled with shameless panegyrics of des-
potism and bitter invectives against
those who refuse to bow their necks to the
yoke of the superstition Go and hear
our preachers. Instead of inculcat-
ing meekness and charity as the founder
of our religion, they inveigh against our
| constitution and hold its authors up to the
| execration of their hearers. The church,
whenever it has been armed with power
has used it cruelty. Without going back to
| the massacre of st. Bartholomew and
Dragonnades, what occurred in this country
| twenty years ago, is sufficient proof thereof
Their fanaticism is essentially intollerant
1t is a stranger to every sentiment of hui
| manity and sweeps every obstacle out
| of its path, burning, shooting and hanging
as it goes along, and all for the glory of
God" The writer calls on the government
to lay aside its temporizing policy and keep
stern watch on the movements Of those
men who are already so deeply stained
with the blood of their fellow
men. He concluded by warning Don Carlos
against evil advisers, and bids him renem-
| Der ''El Cerra de las Companas," the spot
where Macmillan, Miramon and Nicola
were shot. This vigorous and severely de
mandatory article excites much comment,
| and reply from the clerical press is looked
for with great interest,
THE FEELING WIDESPREAD.
The Monitor Republican, also has ad-
vices from the State of Oaxaca, intimating
that the local members of the Church party
are conspiring against the government, and
the FerrO Carrillu1, a newspaper published
at Oaxaca, referring to the same
| subject urges the government to
| take stern repressive measures at once.
